Backstory:


Subplots:

Subplot: Personal Mission (Tie up loose ends from a discontinued investigation. Evidence acquired during a routine operation targeting Russian organised crime in the USA implicated unidentified US-American operatives aiding the Russian mob in some "business ventures" in the Middle East. Before the nature of those assets and their relationship to the mob could be determined, the investigation was discontinued, conflicting fields of responsibility being cited. Damian's superior at the time, Susannah White, was transfered to some meaningless job without influence after protesting. Out of friendship and respect for his old superior and her skill at law enforcement work, Damian makes an effort to clear the woman's name by getting to the bottom of the incident, acutely aware that one wrong step might compromise SHELTER as well as his career.

Class Abilities:

Custom 'ware: Once per mission during the Intel Phase, you may designate 1 computer to be loaded with your personal software. Until the end of the current mission, the computer’s Power Rating increases by a number equal to your starting action dice (maximum Power Rating 10). Further, the computer is also considered to be running security software with a Power Rating equal to the computer’s Power Rating. This software does not count against the maximum total software that may run on the system (see page 276). If the computer is lost or destroyed, you must wait until your next Intel Phase to customize another computer.

'L337: At Level 1, each time you fail a Computers or Falsify check and don’t suffer an error, you still succeed as long as the check DC (or your opponent’s check result) is equal to or less than your class level + 20. If several grades of success are possible, you achieve only the lowest possible positive result.

Master Key I: At Level 2, your maximum ranks in the Computers and Science skills each increase to your career level + 6. Further, when you create, crack, or request any code, or create or request any software, its Power Rating is considered to be 1 lower for the purpose of determining skill and Request check DCs.

'''Performance Review'''

"Damian has proven himself to be a valuable and versatile operative. The guy's a team player, and though his methods sometimes isolate him from the rest of the team, he always seeks to support his people and objectives. He's had a number of opportunities to use his FBI experience in the field, and is particularly useful in undercover ops. Its pretty unusual for him to not be in some sort of disguise or using a created cover identity. Some people might call that paranoia, but I call it 'being prepared'. Only real weaknesses are his mistrust of authority and his stubborn refusal to abide by certain codes of dress. He's kind of a slob, frankly, and that bothers Y and Z. Me? Not so much. I'm more concerned about his fixation on this old case of his with the Russians. I don't think he'll like what he finds out..."
